Gambling IN Mexico.

FROM the American Magazine
short distance from the chu ca,
booths are erected, from which pro
ceeds the music of harps and guitars.
In them the visitors to Guadalupe
may crafty any fondness they may
have for thegreat national vice-g8m-
bling. The strange, harsh cries OF those
who have charge of the business, as
they call out details OF stakes to be
offered and the result of each deal and
lapy, are positively repuIsive. The
group Of players in each booth, COM
prise men, women, and even children,
OF every class, in about the proportion
in which the several classes exist in
the country. There are small stakes
ard large ones, and the variety OF
games by which the appeal to chance
Is made, seems endless. The players
chat and laugh as they play, and
though they watch the games very
closely, and if their money lasts play
sometimes all night long, THERE'S none
OF that feverish or excited look about
them which IS noticeable in the faces
OF gamblers elsewhere. 1t is evident
that the Mexicans gamble entirely for
the sport there is in gambling. They
win or lose with the same happy look
the same gay laugh.

young chorus girl who had been discharged
at Etfies command.
The girls voice and features seemed
strangely familiar to him; and although he
had an excellent memory, he could not
place her in his recollection.
Taking out his memorandum, he read:
MARIE ID. INSLEY,
$50 West NiHt nth street.
This aided him none, and he made up
his mind he must be mistaken. He cal
culated that Number $50 shOul be between
Eighth and Ninth avenues, which was GER
taiuly a most respectable locality.
He pinned the address on the door of his
Wallets chamber, first taking a copy of it in
"A book h. kept for the purpose. The num-
Der of pinholes which dlsfgured the door

his experiences of the past three laws, and
the little chorus girl partook of no small
share in them.

CREATIONS DAWN

Eternal chaos seems afoat!
No earth no worlds no heaven abiaZer
No moon to light with melloWlug rays
This iucongruous MASSEY maze.
No glittering sun with light sublime
Wastes his eifulgence IN such gloom,
No beast, nor fowl, nor living thing
Can hover round this doom.
Cold as the breath of dreaded death
Float mass and cloud together,
No hand toright in that dread night
And that tempestuous weather.
To rescue from obIivion's fate
Is there no will, no mighty power
To take tho helm in this vast hour
And give TO Time its dOWer2
Shall time and matter mingled go
Adown The darkened way Of fate,
None there 70 mark in Hateful dark,

Upon q work not vet begun.
Father Of Universe! Thy face
Now shines abroad, ana shows to fate
A wondrous strength that now at length

1t IS desirable in keeping pigs in orchards
TO have them in as many lots as possible.
This is especially true when sows with
lilters Of pigs constitute the stock. Nov
able pigpens, made so as to be taken apart
and put together again, not only accom-
plish this object, but enable the owner
to thoroughly fertilize different parts.
After the pigs have been kept under one
tree a week or so, remove them and their
pen to another. In this way the thrift of
both trees and pigs Is made certain. Only
the sows need be confined, The small
pigs may be given free range to pick up
fallen fruit until they gradually wean
themselves.

Uhat TO sare FOR seed.

Many make the mistake, says n writer in
the Indiana fdTmeT of using the Grst
peas, beans, tomatoes, radishes, lettuce,
and quite n list of plants, and allow what
is left TO mature for seed. 1t requires but
"A short time for the effect of this kind of
work TO show itself IN n lower grade of
products. The better plan is to select the
best, as they grow, for seed, not out of
what is left, but the best ut first. You
want to save the choice of the crop for
seed instead of a choice of the leaving.
In the garden supply of lettuce, radishes,
turnips, peas, beans, melons, squashes,
tomatoes, and all that class that mature
seed the first year can be saved TO n very
good advantage. If you secure strong,
vigorous plants and by cultivation induce
rapid growth, the best will give you plants
that Will mature seed that you can save.
With field crops, such as corn, oats,
sorghum, or potatoes, it will often pay to
plant Il small plot for the especial purpose
of growing for seed, taking considerable
pains to secure the best growth, and then
selecting and storing the best for seed. 1t
is a considerable expense to be obliged to
purchase seed of this kind every spring,
and especially so when, by making the
proper effort, YOU can secure fully as good
as what you can purchase. But on no
account save the seed unless YOU have a
very good crop. Improve rather than al
low the seed to deteriorate. If You cannot
do this, 1t will be moro economical to pur-
chase seed than TO raise it. But with
proper care with quite a number of varieties
it will pay to raise and save your own sup
plv of seed.

Where constalks have been fed uncut
their long, woody substance makes the
manure not only difficult to handle, but re-
duces its value very materially. 1t is hard
work doing good blowing with loose long
stalks covering the surface, and when they
are turned under the funow the effect on
light, dry ground is to nearly neutralize
the value of the manure. In dry season
such manure does even more harm than
good. On heavy and rather wet land these
cornstalks may be beneficial by improving
its mechanical condition, especially for
corn. Bnt where comstalks have been cut
into short lengths the stubs uneaten serve
an excellent purpose rs a manure alb
sorbent, and in this condition make good
manure for any crop.

Effect ofthc E.rth's Revolution.


The following, from daily ex-
change, is a contribution to science
which ought to be better known to
engineers than, according to the best
OF our information and belief, it is:
Would it be supposed that one line
or rails on track is more worn than
the other? Such is the case, however.
Engineers say that when the track
runs north and south, or generally in
that direction, the westerly rails are
worn out sooner than the easterly set,
and that they stretch, or creep" as
they technically express it. The only
explanation given of this curious in
equality is the supposed greater weight
which is constantly thrown on the
westerly rail by passing trains owing
to the revolution of the earth on its
axis from east to west. In other
words, the earth's movement tends to
lift the train upon its westerly wheels.

Dry, gravelly soil is required for sue

farmers Will only keep sheep for wool on
soils containing lime, as they say on such

Many farmers say there is no profit in
raising oats, vet others find them profit
able crop. If the market price of the
grain is not profitable, the price paid for
young stock always is. The farmer who
sells oats and feeds his calves, pigs,
lambs, and colts all corn, or nearly so,
makes a mistake. Not a few men find
oats improbable because they do not feed
them, or do not feed them properly; yet
more because they do not get the full
value of the straw. If oats are cut five
DAYS earlier than Is the common practice,
the straw is worth for feeding two-thIrds
Of its weight of timothy hay, and this
earlier cutting increases, rather than dI-
minlshes, the value of the grain. Of
course the straw must be kept bright. If
it Is not cut until 1t Is dead ripe" and
then piled up after threshing to bleach
and rot it Is not worth much for feed But
the cutting, curing, and feeding being
equally favorable, three pounds of oat
straw are worth as much for winter feed
Ing as two pounds of hay. True, the
other articles fei must have more al
buminoids than when hay is fed, but this
does not increase the cost of the ration.
The biggest price for oats is realized by
cutting the crop when most farmers would
pronounce it green. curing 1t nicely, then
store in NOW or under barracks, and feed
grain and straw together after running
through a cutter and moistening. Cutting
oats a little early also reduces the chances
Of their lodging, and their liability to
lodge is the most serious objection to them
